Elizabeth Moore my brick wall

Hi Kath Fox,

I went to the 1871 Census to see the record you mentioned.
Eliza Moore has her daughter Jane with her and they were lodgers, is that correct?
Have you got Jane's birth record?  This would really help.

I looked in the Stradbally records + and - 2 years and couldn't find an Eliza Moore.
There again there is a town called Stradbally in County Laois and several townlands of the same name.
But there are several Eliza's.       Moore may have been her married name.  
In 1891 Jane was a lodger at the Frain's house. (I see she married one of the sons)
Jane's birth record would help.

Just a quick note that I also respoonded to this query, but in the duplicate of it which you posted (located right after this one in the queue).

Hi Margot, 

Firstly I must appologise for not replying, I have only just seen your reply to me. 

 I have been digging away and I think possibly Eliza is Thomas.

I can't find a marriage either in Ireland or UK for Moore-Thomas.  I am working through this line of enquiry now trying to piece it together with dna.

I don't have a birth cert for Jane.  The only one I can find is for Jane of Isaac Moore and Elizabeth Thomas.  I looked at that line.  They are Welsh from Pembrokeshire. I don't have any dna leading that way either.

The Census is my only thread unfortunately.

Yes Jane married Thomas.  I think It was a Christmas or new year party and my Nan was conceived at it.  Jane was older than Thomas and they married shortly after his 21st birthday.  He died at 23 of typhoid.  Just before my nans 4th birthday and her little brother was was just 18 months old. Martin went to live with aunts and his nan but I don't know what happened to him because he has disappeared after the 1911 census.  I am impatiently waiting on the 1921!
